Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
The cells contain the neu transforming gene which codes for a 185000 dalton antigen designated p185.
The p185 protein is strongly associated with the presence of glioblastoma and neuroblastoma oncogenes.
The neu oncogene is homologous to the erb-B oncogene, and p185 is serologically similar to the epidermal growth factor receptor.
